screech Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yes it's been closed because a few of the posters on there are obsessed with posting playground stuff about feuds they have on this site. Admin had quite rightly had enough of the crap and shut it for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted March 23, 2010 Admin Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Back up now, but remember it was set up as an alternative to OTIB, so we would all be grateful if petty name calling from back and forth of both sites did not happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrs Court Red Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Its a shame a forum that was once such a good laugh has become full of moaning dicks and unfunny morons. Bring back the sub! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider head Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 - and they thought this place was in melt down! It's because of the melt down / bitching on here everyone whos been banned has gone over there to moan about this place and how it's run which i'm peed off with, banter is one thing but on ALL FORUMS things are getting quite spiteful. Back up now, but remember it was set up as an alternative to OTIB, so we would all be grateful if petty name calling from back and forth of both sites did not happen only mods and admin can read it at the moment.

cider head Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yeah understandable, very good forum though and such a good laugh thank you. if it could get back to that, what it does best then fine i'll think about it but i'm not using the site as a soap box for spite and bitching because they can't get on with the way this place is run (piggy in the middle here) it's two very different places and if there is a poster problem i'd rather they sent emails or pm's on the site they moan about, moan about otib deal with it here.

I really don't know why you mods/admins bother really. It seems a lot of hassle for no benefit. Like a playground squabble no-one will "win" and people will beocme ever more abusive trying to out-point one another. You do a great job that I'm sure the majority appreciate but which personally I wouldn't do except in exchange for a good wad of wonga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Maesknoll Red Posted March 23, 2010 Admin Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 When the subbers site started off, it was an alternative to OTIB, it had the 'adult' element, a viz like humour and some good banter, sadly it has degenerated into a shadow of it's former self. Shame, as the two forums should offer different things, whilst being able to run alongside each other. There have been a couple of threads lately on OTIB, that have been like flashbacks to the days of decent debate about the team and club, sadly they are nearly always drowned out in the avalanche of posts that add very little to debate. Perhaps the only way to improve things is to take a hard line and enforce some rules that apply to other forums, I've always been against this, but if posters cannot just think about the content of their post, perhaps reduce quantity and increase quality, before hitting the post button, then maybe we have no option.

It's not easy at times i must admit, you can never keep everyone happy thats for sure but when legal action gets spoken about some need to step back and think what they do on these sites. The report button hit by posters trying to score points is being abused, i got 63 pm's all reports this week alone, on this site people need to agree to disagree sometimes and all this spite is not healthy for anyone, a report, abuse, he's a cock errrrrr .

Surely the report button is for extreme things only. Who are all these people who press it so readily? I've never once felt the need to use it myself.

I've never once felt the need to use it myself. I had 8 in the time I was at the pub last night. The last just actually picking up on a post I made with the report of 'He's a ****' Suffice to say sooner or later the likes of CH & Myself will give up and there will be no forums for City fans.

cider head Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Its the same as this one..............but with swearing The hand bags at dawn is at the moment However there is a wider range of age groups on this site thats why the moderation is tighter but on zh you have to sign up to read and if you look at the online members of this site there are more guests reading than signed in members so you need to take in to account just who they are age wise, zh you have to agree to the terms of the site on sign up which more or less tells you it is of an adult feel.

Perhaps a mandatory "week off" ( with very brief explanation) for excessive irritating and unnecessary use of the report button would help to stay their outraged fingers?

Admin phantom Posted March 23, 2010 Admin Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Do people have to explain why they "report" a post ? Or is it just clicking a button ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolman Block B Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Personally, i think there are some very good posters over on Ziderheads, with great knowledge and love for the club. When i first joined i honestly thought i was dealing with a load of crazed and caged maniacs, 95% with tourettes, but admit i was wrong, a hell of a lot of posters can debate to a very high standard, included in that are the modertors who always like to give it their best shot!! Hopefully, it will be allowed to show its face again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that goes against the ZH ethos but one or two posters, and I can think who they might be, shouldn't ruin it for everyone else. That is all.
